Study Tips
Our Math, Science, and Social Studies books are excellent reference resources, providing students opportunites to practice navigating non-fiction text. Please encourage the use of these resource when your child has questions at home.
Practice. So much of fifth grade math is seeing the connections between numbers based on common factors, understanding well the relationship between multiplication and division, and an immediate recall of multiplication/division facts
Check you child's homework each night with your signature. This not only helps us to communicate, but builds organizational skills in your child that are needed for middle school. As part of homework each night, make sure your child's binder is organized and any homework is ready to be turned in with a proper heading including name, date, and title.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at mmitche5@houstonisd.org or from the Schoolnotes contact link.
